Apologies in advance for my answer this week as it will not immediately resonate with the book blogger population which happens to be 99.5% female.

My choice is a book series geared towards guys which won’t enthrall the vast majority of my fellow book bloggers (who are almost entirely female) with the extensive discussion of powerful weapons and sexy milspec gear, beautiful women, eye-popping action sequences (with occasionally obscene violence), and the like.

But there IS something in my answer that just about everyone of the female persuasion can benefit from my decidedly “books for guys” post. Hop on over to http://www.howardsherman.net to find out what it is.

Oh Emma is a good pick!I always think I would like old-timey stories until I remember No inner plumbing.

I think I would step into The Bard Academy books by Cara Lockwood (Boarding school set on an island, the teachers are the ghosts of famous dead authors, all the student's lives resemble/were touched by an actual book at some time or another! And a teenage Heathcliff hanging around!)
